Does @robertwrighter's plan to have elite global governance force higher labor standards on nations wind up in same place as preserving standards with bottom-up economic nationalism? [3 min. into clip] https://t.co/iztnl0EnS3

"Yet, when the information was finally forced out of the FBI, including the disclosure of previously redacted material, it was clear that the FBI had engaged in overclassification…to shield the bureau itself from criticism…" https://t.co/8LHKcfflT5

I'm for the "wall" (symbolism included). Think it's needed, will work. But there's always been a danger that many conservatives are *so* invested in the wall that they'll give up too much to get it — eg a big amnesty. Trump may be one of them. PS: What about E-Verify? https://t.co/jauBAQlYxH

"Some legal changes to do away with these magnets." Needs fleshing out! One problem is that the devil is in the details on such changes, and Democrats seem to always win on the details … https://t.co/q3nIRRdc74

BURIED LEDE: @RuyTeixeira thinks the GOPs can hold off the Emerging Democratic Majority for FIVE (!) presidential elections if they keep goosing white non-college flyover turnout? That's until 2040. By then it'll be an Emerging Robot Majority , no? https://t.co/1QmaIWKbY2

Yes, if only Trump had talked more about the tax cuts! "GOP leaders winced as Trump focused on other issues and saw public approval for the legislation fade away." Hard to believe GOP leaders, let alone @pkCapitol, actually believe this. https://t.co/OSTQYNIsOE

Again, a fence or wall doesn't deport anybody. It is prophylactic. Just sits there. Saves lives that would be lost in the desert. Should be one of the least objectionable immigration-control measures for Dems. https://t.co/g5AMeWFjaG

Obvious parallel between Establishment attempt to stall, control, con Trump on Syria and the similar effort on immigration. The latter may have been successful. The former up to a point. https://t.co/oCqncNgpbQ

Keep in mind: If border wall worked perfectly Border Patrol would be out of a job. That's why I'm always a bit skeptical of Border Patrol recommendations for a "system" that requires large ongoing role for Border Patrol. https://t.co/bLes0p2nzn

3rd graf here tweaks all the bias knobs: "shutdown…triggered by Trump’s DEMAND …that TAXPAYERS provide HIM with $5 billion to help pay for a wall." [EA ]But House passed a bill with wall $. Why isn't it just as "triggered by Senate Dems refusal" etc https://t.co/ZXKbA2TqZY
